Wizards vs Bulls GT

[Relinquish]

How is there no thread for this? Anyways, Wizards giving the Bulls the business so far.

I hate to admit this but i am basically indifferent to the team now. Until they get a new GM they will never be good unless lightning strikes and they land KD.

Once Beal comes back, I think we'll be able to squeak into the postseason so long as he stays healthy. Are we winning the chip? No, but that doesn't mean you should give up on the team.

[bdreason]

They need a new coach, and a couple roster moves. An Upgrade in the front court would be nice. I like Porter, but everyone else is dispensable, even Gortat. In fact, Gortat is probably their best trade chip right now. If you look at this roster from top to bottom, it really isn't that great.

[Relinquish]

Rose is balling. Best game of his in ages :eek:

Minus the 0s in everything other than points and turnovers.

[Milbuck]

Rose the only Bull playing hard tonight

[Milbuck]

Pau puts up pretty numbers but his defense and effort is comical. If it requires him moving more than 2 feet he's not doing it.

Wall cold af tonight, good thing Gooden is Goat-en on the O glass.

It is pathetic. I was at the Hawks game Saturday and he was the main reason they lost. Horford abused him. He needs to toughen up for sure.

I wouldn't say he's playing hard. He's shooting well, with almost next to no effort given. Donuts in everything other than points, except TOs.

1. 1 TO. He is out playing Wall by a large margin.

[Milbuck]

I wouldn't say he's playing hard. He's shooting well, with almost next to no effort given. Donuts in everything other than points, except TOs.I counted 5 would be assists in the 1st half where his teammates just could not finish or turned it over, the assists are irrelevant imo. I don't get the no effort part, he's attacking the paint hard and making things happen.

No steals, rebounds, nothing. Not just assists, relatively no effort. He has 1 block on Wall from the first quarter, but other than that, he looks like he's playing lazy on D.

He's played a terrific game, I don't know what you're watching. You're nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.

These wiz fans are such Rose haters that can't stand he is out playing their guy. They rip him apart after every game and its refreshing to see him putting it together lately. He has never been a huge assist guy, but as long as he is driving he is effective enough.

[beastee]

Bulls problem is they have major letdown games against weak teams at home. Very frustrating team effort tonight.

[Relinquish]

Sessions :applause:

His cement feet is just a killer for their defense, his PnR defense is one of the worst I've seen and unless it's a direct contest at the rim where he can just use his length/size, he gets lit up by any quick guard. Bucks have the same problem with Monroe, except Pau is like 10 years older and even slower. And offensively it seems like damn near half his shots are wide open midrange jumpers that Rose and Butler spoonfeed him.

Rose almost always outplays Wall. That's not anything that I'm concerned about.

Either way, Rose is hardly touching the ball when he's on fire. Barely moving. He needs to be demanding the ball right now, and he needs to shoot.

[Relinquish]

Rose choking away this game with all these TOs :facepalm

Great defense from the Wiz

yeah, he is clearly trying to force some passes. F that, drive it dude. But lead foot Gasol hasn't helped tonight. Oh well. Good Game Wizards. Bulls need to be more consistent.

Wall closing this game out strong.

Don't sweat it, our bench players have a collective good game once every 5. Unfortunately, that game was tonight. You guys are better than us regardless of tonight's outcome.

[Relinquish]

Lol John :roll:

Yeah, I guess injuries haven't helped. I didn't think they would be that bad this year. they have time though, but Wall needs to really kick it up a notch and be a superstar at this point.

He has been. His month of December was incredible, the problem was the amount of injuries was too much during that time. The injury situation is still not good, but I think once Beal comes back (so long as he doesn't get injured again) I'd be surprised if this team can't at least sneak into the postseason.

bulls problem is Derrick Rose. dude is -26 lol, dude is a pg with 23 points 1 assist and 4 turnovers

[Milbuck]

Up until his last couple turnovers dude was playing great and was the only reason the Bulls weren't getting blown out by the 1st quarter. Maybe watch the game.

But hey, Milbuck said I was nitpicking when I said despite being hot, he wasn't giving enough effort. :lol

3 of those TOs came in the 4th too.

I watched the second half and I saw a terrible player who can't play defense and can only score.

His turnovers came at the end of the game, when they were already basically out of it. Gasol and Mirotics awful defense is what killed them.

Rose isn't perfect, but a night he shoots 8/13 and scores 23 I am okay with. Butler didn't shoot great and nobody else came. Only a regular season game, so I can't be pissed, but if they do this again against Milwaukee tomorrow night, they are trending the wrong way for sure.

Also, Noah is just... done. Bulls should trade him before he's worth a ham sandwich. You guys need a big that can defend so you can keep Mirotic on the bench more.

I think the Wizards are one of the few landing spots that make any sense for Dwight

Gortat is fine at C. We need help at the 4 in the worst way.

Rose with a Nick Young statline, 23 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist.

Glad to see Wall with only 2 turnovers. He has been way too careless with the ball this season.

Couldn't let this one slide.


Noah's first game back from a few weeks injury? :hammerhead:


He was rolling before that. I'd still trade him though, once he shows signs of life.


Too injury prone now and is a liability on offense.

I didn't expect much from him on offense, but what surprised me was that his defensive effort wasn't there last night. If he can't play offense OR defense anymore, then what can he do?
